Jeff Keppinger drove in the winning run with a bases-loaded single off Ryan Webb and the Marlins fell to 1-4 this season in extra-inning games.

The Marlins were nearly shut out by Jake Peavy and wasted a stellar outing by Ricky Nolasco, suffering their fourth loss in a row.

If not for Hurricane Ivan, manager Mike Redmond said the 2004 Marlins might have reached the playoffs to defend their World Series title. Instead, the storm and havoc it created with scheduling was the “final straw” in a season that fell short of expectations.

Rally-killing double plays are beginning to wear on Marlins manager Mike Redmond, who indicated they could end up costing players their jobs if the problem isn’t fixed.

The hard luck remains for the Pittsburgh Pirates' A.J. Burnett.

With reliever Steve Cishek struggling to finish games, manager Mike Redmond will spread out the work — which doesn’t occur very often.

The Marlins were silenced by Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee, and Miami starter Kevin Slowey strained a side muscle and was forced to leave early.

Jose Fernandez kept the Marlins in the game, but Miami’s bullpen gave up six runs after he departed.

The newest controversy to attach itself to the Marlins doesn’t appear to have much of a shelf life. Video captured from Monday’s Philadelphia broadcast briefly showed Marlins starter Alex Sanabia spitting on a new baseball tossed to him moments after Domonic Brown deposited the previous one in the sparsely filled right-field seats.

Alex Sanabia avoided tying the franchise record of six pitching losses in a row, and Justin Ruggiano had two RBI singles in the Marlins’ win.

Michael Young scored the go-ahead run from first base on a single in the eighth inning, and Domonic Brown homered and hit an RBI double as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 5-3 Saturday night.
